You will probably find that beryl requires *many* libraries that DSL does not have. I'll be terribly surprised if you succeed in compiling it, at this rate, before Beryl is replaced with a 4D virtual cyber smell-o-vision holodesktop.
Have you given any thought to trying the pre-compiled binary (Synaptic) route? You will still definitely need to deal with dependencies, but it should be a whole lot easier than compiling. I know I generally have nothing but good things to say about compiling from source, but something like Beryl, in a minimal distro like DSL, is most surely going to be a huge pain in the neck, particularly for someone who apparently has had little or no experience with compiling.
If you are "afraid of destroying everything", I personally would not even recommend trying Beryl on a harddrive-installed DSL (assuming that's what you're afraid of). You will be much safer experimenting on a liveCD or frugal system. If it succeeds you can then transfer the runtime files to a harddrive install.

and than I load the package with the sources (Source .gz (?) )
I hope when you say "load" you don't mean "install" as in a *.tar.gz myDSL extension. That would be bad, potentially very bad.so i'm back again ;) no, with the sources i meaned download them, and i think to remember curaga saying that he already did it so ;) let me believe in what I want :P ^^ okee...i'll load the X-11 devel momI can't find the "X-11 devel" package at MyDsl...in which folder is it System, Testing...? And do I need to run XFree86 first? When I#ve installed 3ddesk...how do I start it?The X development files are already included in gcc1-with-libs If that doesn't provide you with what you need then you should look at OpenGL and probably some things that are not available in DSL. It's quite possible that libXxf86vm is not part of X11libXxf86vm was not in XFree, but is in X.org.. (just found out..) How about using the Xorg extension then?
@Mik: we're at 3ddesk now, not beryl..Next Page...
